High-Tech Reports

It’s important that we safeguard ourselves and our homes, and that includes those high-priced electronics. And here the Motion-Activated LED Outdoor Light help secure your home and your prized electronics.

This Motion-Activated LED Outdoor Light provides powerful, low energy lighting, great for lighting any dark passages, walk-ways or gardens at night. The motion sensitive light helps to provide added security as the light can illuminate any possible intruders. This helps to both alert you to their presence and to scare them away.

The Motion-Activated LED Outdoor Light has been produced by Maxsa to provide waterproof security lighting that consumes as little electricity as possible. The light head can be swiveled 360% in any direction allowing you to position the light to illuminate the exact area you require. The built in motion sensor detects any movement that is up to 3 m (10 ft) away. The light activates when motion is detected during night time and will remain on for a further 12 seconds once all movement has ceased. The light will not activate during the day unless the photo sensor is in darkness. Full instructions and brackets for mounting the light are included.

The Motion-Activated Light uses 5 LEDs to provide a powerful, bright illumination. By using LEDs as a light source, the light is able to provide illumination that draw very little energy to provide an excellent level of lighting. The bulbs will last for around 30,000 hours, so should not require charging.

The Motion-Activated LED Outdoor Light requires 4 ‘C’ cell batteries to operate and can support alkaline, Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. This allows you to find rechargeable versions of these batteries to power the light to help it to operate in as eco-friendly a way as possible, especially if the batteries are recharged through a Solar Battery Charger or similar. The light can be used to provide lighting to any outdoor dark area or to provide added security to your home while requiring no complicated wiring nor causing a long term electrical drain.

Once again, Barbie is being criticized for damaging little girls, but not because of her unrealistic proportions. The new tokidoki Barbie has pink hair and huge neck and arm tattoos, and parents are concerned that the doll will send their precious pre-teen angel straight into the arms of some bad boy known for riding bikes and breaking girls’ hearts.

Since most 5-year-old aren’t familiar with Italian designer Simone Legno, we’re guessing his tokidoki Barbie is intended for collectors. Particularly because her spikey pet has a somewhat risque name. According to Mattel’s discription:

tokidoki® Barbie® doll is always ready for cutting-edge fashion! She pops on a pink miniskirt, logo leggings and black top with signature skull heart and bones, carries a large bag from the brand, then adds bracelets, a belt, and sky-high sparkly silvery shoes! This funky fashionista features trendy tattoos and a pink bob. With cactus friend, Bastardino, by her side, she’s ready for fun in fashion-forward form!

Yet, parents are working themselves into a tizzy about the doll’s harmful message. A commenter on the parents’ website Twixt says:

Encouraging children that tattoos are cool is wrong, wrong, wrong. Mattel why not put a cigarette and a beer bottle in her hand while you’re at it!

Obviously Barbie’s molded plastic hand is better suited to grabbing wine glasses than beer bottles, but the the point stands. As anyone who witnessed Quinn’s brief involvement with the Skanks on Glee knows, tattoos and pink hair can only lead to debauchery and sassing authority figures. We must do everything in our power to ensure that this limited edition $50 collector’s doll that’s already sold out until November doesn’t warp girls into thinking that hair color and body art are personal style choices that have nothing to do with moral character.
